Eric García is doing bits with league-leading Girona FC. He’s a key starter for the Catalan outfit, surprisingly on top of La Liga. And to think FC Barcelona did their best to loan him out last summer.
It’s worth asking why García went from a reserve defender who was mocked at times for being shaky and unreliable, to a key cog in a team coming out of nowhere to lead La Liga.
He’s found the ideal place for him, both in terms of his role in the team and the type of system they play.
